Architectural Heritage Services

Alison McQueen & Associates are Archaeological and Architectural Heritage Consultants. By providing a nationwide service at competitive rates, we offer comprehensive advice and consultancy services for a wide range of planning and pre-planning issues. We also liaise with the relevant Local Authority, National Monuments Service and National Museum of Ireland, on behalf of our clients.

As a strong team committed to a dedicated and cost-effective work ethos, we understand the time and financial constraints of modern day development. Intricate planning and understanding of projects ensures that deadlines are met on time, without compromising our Cultural Heritage.

We explain in clear and simple terms the nature and implications of site specific planning requirements relating to the historic environment. Through our practical, yet economical solutions, we aim to resolve the archaeological and historic building components of any development, whilst maintaining heritage values. We have 20 years of experience working in archaeological and architectural heritage throughout Ireland and the UK.

We undertake work on a nationwide basis for public and private clients in a variety of sectors:

Central & local government

State & semi-state bodies

Construction and extraction industries

Wind energy and solar array companies

Architects, engineers & planning consultants

Agricultural and forestry consultants

Water, wastewater, drainage and roads infrastructure

Community groups, development bodies and sports organisations at local and county level.

" Thanks very much Alison for doing the archaeological monitoring for our new house build. Alison was very professional and easy to deal with. We had to change the day of monitoring last minute due to bad weather and this was no problem at all. Thanks again Alison! "
